FWIW there was a huge following for the Wirth languages on the Amiga. I don't quite know how that came about but at times it felt like the programs written with Modula-2 or Oberon were as numerous as the ones written in C or Assembler.
That was mostly for Public Domain, Freeware, and Shareware software though.
- MarcusE1W 4y agoI have bought the M2 Amiga Modula-2 compiler after saving my pocket money for ages. It came with complete modules/interfaces to the native Amiga system libraries and the type system prevented you from shooting into your own foot at every corner. Amiga system developed is very pointer heavy. Modula-2 could not prevent all issues but at least catch some. Made sense to me at the time. Plus I could do my computer homework in Modula-2 on my Amiga and then quickly rewrite it to Turba Pascal in school
